Bengaluru police have taken a significant step in the high-profile case involving threats to Kannada superstar Darshan’s wife, Yathishree. A comprehensive charge sheet has been submitted against six accused individuals in a special court. The 1,200-page document details the chilling sequence of events that unfolded over several months, painting a picture of orchestrated intimidation targeting the actor’s family.
The case first came to light when Yathishree received anonymous calls and messages demanding money and issuing dire warnings. Investigations revealed a deeper conspiracy involving local criminals who allegedly exploited Darshan’s fame for extortion. ‘We have solid evidence including call records, digital footprints, and witness testimonies,’ stated a senior police officer involved in the probe.
Among the accused are known figures from the city’s underworld fringes, with prior records of similar offenses. The charge sheet accuses them of criminal intimidation, extortion attempts, and conspiracy under relevant IPC sections. One key accused reportedly posed as a fan before escalating to threats.
Darshan, one of Sandalwood’s biggest names known for hits like ‘Kranti’ and ‘Roberrt,’ has maintained a dignified silence throughout. His wife bravely reported the incidents, leading to swift action. The police operation spanned multiple raids, recovering incriminating devices and cash.
Legal experts believe this could set a precedent for celebrity threat cases in Karnataka. The court has scheduled hearings, and all six are currently in judicial custody. As the trial approaches, the industry watches closely, hoping for justice to deter future attempts on stars’ families. This development underscores the vulnerabilities even superstars face in the digital age.
